Musings,
Wow, thanks for all the detailed instructions and links to making the ultimate MHK!
I'll try it out next Wed and let you ladies know the result
One more question: if the MHK dough can be kept for 5 days covered, do I keep it outside in room temperature or in the fridge?
Re agedashi tofu: I've made it successfuly before, to the extent that I think it's so expensive to pay $5 for a plate in restaurants.
You have to "drain" the tofu. When you pop the block out, you put a dry clean cloth over it, then put a plate on top of it. Leave it for abotu an hour or so, then you will find the tofu has shrunk a little and got some little holes in it. You cut it at this point then coat with cornflour and panfry. This way, tofu is not overly soft and watery to fry.
Littlecat,
I got the chili flakes from Shine. yeah, must use the Korean ones. I remember reading a recipe book saying that chinese and indian chili flakes taste different... more bitter I think.
Yes yes, I got a decently big batch of kimchi. I'll pass you a jar to try out and then you see if it's worth making it. A lot of people, especially Koreans, like it a certain way, and wouldn't eat other people's kimchi... so if it doesn't suit your taste, you may not want to waste your time.
E.g. the batch I made 2 yrs ago, my hubby found it too garlicky and spicy and didn't eat much of it.
You let me know which day you are sending ds. Otherwise I can pop by your estate to pass to you, since it's so close to C-O.
I also want drive around there to find the Yuhua Hawker centre which has very good zai beehoon (think I read from papers).
Wait for cut to heal before making dough... otherwise so painful. I'm not so worried about the food itself cos any germs would have been killed over high heat!
Thanks for haebeehiam recipe!
Joy,
Assam Padas is fish? The sourish one?
Talk about leaky celings... I just saw a big wet patch on my wall! Contractor came to see and says it's upstairs leaking... probably their pipe burst!
Tonight's dinner: Spicy Rabboki for hubby and me, and rice, devilled eggs, tofu, miso seaweed soup for kids.
